Such is the structure of this tournament his loss to Roger Federer earlier in the week hasn't really done much damage to Novak Djokovic's title hopes. Actually it might even have helped him as his failure to win the Stan Smith group means he faces Rafael Nadal in the semi-final rather than the higher ranked Andy Murray on his kind of home turf (he's Scottish and this is a hard court).  A win for Novak here puts him level in the head to head stats with Nadal at 23-23. He was a fair bit behind at one stage but has won seven of his last eight games against Nadal, the only defeat since 2013 being in the final of the 2014 French Open on Nadal's beloved clay. Djokovic has won all three of their encounters this year, all in straight sets and including a revenge win at the French Open. Nadal has improved in recent months and his wins over Murray and Wawrinka in the group stages are his best couple of wins in the same tournament all year. Despite all that he did struggle to beat Ferrer on Friday and I see a straight sets win for Djokovic here.
